Coach Business

Have you been going after something for a while? Do you have a problem you're having trouble solving? Are you feeling kind of stuck or like you need more than the tools you currently have to move forward, change, or up-level?  If so, this episode is for YOU. I am re-sharing an episode I did with Laura Husson, founder of The SHIFT Method, because it's sooo good.  And, because she is offering "The Get UNStuck Sessions" the final time - for free - next week and I just HAD to tell you about them. I have done them with her a couple of times and the freedom that has come as a result has been amazing! I will be there again because I'm always anxious to see what needs to be seen / known / felt next. Listen to the episode for all the juicy details about my experience. And, if you're at all curious, I'd love to have you join us! Laura is leading, I'm participating.  Here's the link to sign up (https://www.totallylaura.com/unstucksessions?fbclid=IwAR0Qsjkxwd5v5t3CZbrItZozvfMw0g1xOlxjOpkDBf3cV3_0fK_ve730CX8&affiliate=caryn_gillen).  They start September 20th! "Change itself can be in an instant, literally in a flash. It's the journey to make the decision for the change that takes a long time." - Laura Husson

If we take away all the rules that we've made up, then what's left?  Answering that question is super fun and disorienting. What are the sentences you think in your mind are the truth? If you could disentangle yourself from everything you've ever made up, everything you've ever heard, what would you do then? What is really here for you? And, what are you really here for? Take a listen, and let's find out!

https://caryngillen.lpages.co/lead-your-profit/ Today, I am talking to my friend, Jessica Harrison, a social scientist, therapist, and activist. This will be an interesting conversation for anyone who works with human beings - which is all of us! If you have ever wondered about the difference between coaching and therapy, how they are different, and how they can work together - this will help. We get into all the things! - How and why I became a life coach - The fact that nothing in nature is linear - The 3-Legged Stool of mental health - Why and when people decide to work with therapists and coaches - How relationship and care are at the core of it all (and why that is essential) + MORE Quotables from Jessica: "Your positionality always matters and is always going to influence how you show up with people and how people respond to you." "It’s not our right to fix it or change it. People are autonomous. They get to decide, and we need to let go of the outcome."  You can learn more about Jessica and her work at jessicamharrison.com. ----- For more business fun and exploration, join me over at The Playground - a free Facebook group for coaches and entrepreneurs.

Emotions are the fuel we use to run our lives. But, I think we often get this wrong as a society. We have this perception that some emotions are better than others, that there is a "right" way to feel, or that we are supposed to be happy all of the time. When, in fact, we are able to swing through all of the emotions and are equipped to handle them all. We are meant to live full-spectrum lives. And, there is power in feeling what you're feeling at any given moment. What if we allowed ourselves to just feel our emotions, without judgment. And, didn’t think they should be different.  How much more energy would we have if we weren't fighting and resisting them all of the time? 

In this week's episode, I talk to Organizing Coach, Tracy Hoth about calming the chaos in your life, home, and business. I recently hired Tracy to help me with a project of my own, and it was amazing how much doing just that one thing opened the door to even more clearing and SPACE. There was an energy that was stuck and completing the project moved it. I am someone who is willing to pay for the speed of decision-making because it means everything gets to go faster. And, getting it done felt like the most FREEDOM ever. Of course, we relate all of this back to business! So, not only are Tracy's 5 tips great for getting organized, they're great for anywhere you might be stuck in business as well. Here they are: 1. Sort 2. Purge 3. Assign Homes 4. Set Limits 5. Maintain Listen in to find out how they work! The whole conversation is great... Tracy shares some really useful information and we discuss important thoughts and ideas around our stuff, its impact, and how we can get free - simply and easily, by making one decision at a time. ----- To learn more about Tracy and what she does, you can find her in the following places: www.simplysquaredaway.com www.instagram.com/tracyhoth www.facebook.com/simplysquaredaway FREE GIFT: Quick Start Guide to Get Organized for Life!

Today's guest is none other than top-ranked health podcaster, Master Weightloss and Life Coach, motivational speaker, and all-around badass, Corinne Crabtree. We have an incredible conversation around the 3 Pillars I believe are essential to a sustainable and successful business (playing the long game, caring for your clients, and being of high integrity - these are also stand-alone episodes if you want to learn more/go back and check them out). Corinne is super-passionate about these three topics as well and lives them out loud in her life and business every day.  We get into how the pillars also apply to weight loss, the unhelpful lies that we all believe, why Corinne is so passionate about caring for her clients, and why it's her mission to "teach every woman how to lose weight for good and feel as amazing as she deserves."  This conversation was an absolute delight and incredibly powerful. I think you'll agree. Please, enjoy my conversation with Corinne Crabtree. ----- Everything you need to know about Corinne...

Betty Barr was my 6th-grade teacher and a collegiate athlete prior to the passage of Title 9. In this episode, we talk about women's sports, what it looks like to be a trailblazer, and (my favorite) the power of language. As Betty says, marginalized groups "have a knack for finding or becoming their own advocates." This is a powerful conversation on how far we've come, how far we have yet to go, and why the way we phrase things matters. Betty's not much on putting people in boxes and using descriptive qualifiers. But, she does believe there's power in language and value in the conversations we have. So do I. Please enjoy this conversation with my friend, Betty. And, be thinking about how the things she talks about relate to starting and being in business. The thread is there, I promise.  ----- The book Betty spoke about: "Tomboy: The Surprising History of Girls Who Dare to Be Different" by Lisa Selin Davis.

"Integrity leaves clues, so does a lack thereof. Your people will remember both." This is the third and final episode on what I believe to be 3 essential pillars in business: playing the long game, client care, and being of high integrity. Today is all about Pillar 3: High-Integrity Business. To me, high-integrity business is about being values-led. Business decisions and goals are made with your values intact - and, in fact, leading the way. When people come into your space they will know what you're about because they can feel it. It also means you get to be grounded and clear in your work. You can make hard decisions from a place of ease because you know what's right for you. And, when people ask you what you're up to, you know how to answer - and, more importantly, you know why. It's time to lead with the real you out in front. What would happen if you took a calm, long-game perspective, added a high level of care to your offers and the people you are serving, and layered into everything all of your most important/top values? What's possible for you (and your clients) from that place?! This is an invitation to call yourself in and figure it out.  This is also an invitation to do so with my help, in a small group of like-minded peers. My next round of group mentoring/coaching/masterminding is OPEN NOW. It closes tomorrow and we have 2 spots left. If any of these pillars have resonated with you, we might be a great fit to work together! Check out all the details and APPLY HERE. (https://caryngillen.lpages.co/mmgc521/)

This is the second episode on what I believe to be 3 essential pillars in business: playing the long game, client care, and being of high integrity. Today is all about Pillar 2: Caring For Your Clients. "To care for" means seeing, thinking about, and showing up for people in a way that works for us AND them. People need specific containers in order to do change work. Our spaces are built with or without our intention and attention. This episode is your invitation to be more intentional. Because, if I don't trust you - no matter how much I've paid you - I will not change in your space. And, neither one of us will get what we want for you. Listen to this episode and, then, ask yourself: what creates the space for trust to exist for clients (and potential clients) in my work? Put some stakes in the ground here. To those of you out there concerned about this, thank you for caring for your people. It's a BIG deal - damn near revolutionary! ----- Looking for the person you trust, whose values align with yours, to give you an assist and ensure you are caring for your clients really, really well?
